Contra Costa County will see its highest tax assessment roll in its history in 2024-25, the county said this week.
County tax assessor Gus Kramer on Friday signed and filed the official “2024-2025 Assessor’s Close of Roll Affidavit.”
An assessment roll is a public record containing information about individual pieces of land. Assessment rolls are used to determine property values and property taxes.
The increase to the local tax base for 2024-25 is more than $11.16 billion.
The county said it represents a 4.17 percent increase in assessed value and brings the total net local assessment roll to more than $278.83 billion.
Cities with the largest increases in assessed value include Antioch, Oakley, and Martinez with increases ranging from 4.99 percent up to 6.09 percent, the county said.
San Ramon, Concord, and Walnut Creek saw the lowest assessed value increases ranging from 2.97 percent down to 1.45 percent.
The assessment roll now consists of 380,681 parcels, an increase of 1,239 over the previous year.
The assessor’s annual letter to the Board of Supervisors and 2024-25 Assessment Roll Reports can be found on the county’s website.
